Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The investigators will include ten patients undergoing advanced life support in this study and determine if it is possible to acquire adequate trans-esophageal images within 10 minutes after arrival of the study team on scene.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Current guidelines recommend to address potentially reversible causes for OOHCA early to improve survival and some of these causes can be recognized using echocardiography. The usefulness of trans-thoracic echocardiography during OOHCA seems to be limited as image acquisition may prolong now flow time and image quality is variable. These limitations might be overcome with trans-esophageal echocardiography.
The investigators will investigate the feasibility of prehospital performed trans-esophageal echocardiography in ten OOHCA patients undergoing advanced life support.
In addition to routine care by paramedics and emergency physicians, a dedicated expert in emergency ultrasound will perform trans-esophageal echocardiography in these patients.
